This Abandoned Blacksmith Shop In America’s Midwest Is A Slice Of Colonial History

This incredible structure has been around since the birth of the nation. It once functioned as a blacksmith shop, and churned out weapons and necessities for soldiers fighting in some of the most important battles of this country’s early history. Check out this footage from YouTube channel “Abandoned Steve” of this insanely cool piece of our colonial past.

This forge was built in 1745. It produced weapons for the American Revolution, as well as the French and Indian War.
